The fruit of killing life

Chapter 241
The junction of Yanzhou where Yunjing City is located and Yuzhou where Dengzhou Prefecture is located.

This year's late autumn seems to be earlier than in previous years.

Only at the beginning of October, the mountains were already full of bleak scenes. The rugged mountain roads were covered with dead branches, fallen leaves, stumps, broken arms, and blood!

A young man with a good manner but a little bit of frailty is running for his life on the mountain road, pulling a girl who is half or six times similar in appearance to him.

"Zhiyin hold on, there is a temple ahead, as long as we escape there we will be safe."

"Brother, I'm wheezing, I can hold it"

The teary-eyed girl was already exhausted, and she was dragged away mechanically by her brother.

Unfortunately.

How could the brothers and sisters, who looked so weak at first glance, outrun those ferocious pursuers behind them?

Just when they saw the temple gate, they were overtaken by those grinning chasing soldiers. After all, they failed to catch the opportunity created for them by a few guards.

And the temple in front of me didn't know how long it had been abandoned, and there was not even a single person in sight.

Let alone helping them.

Seeing the dozen or so fierce figures surrounding him, the young man tightly guarded his sister behind him, and angrily reprimanded them:
"Stop! I am the magistrate of Yunhe County, Dengzhou Prefecture who is about to take office!
As officers and soldiers, how dare you commit such a crime of cutting and killing people?Aren't you afraid of military discipline and kingly law? ! "

A group of officers and soldiers in uniforms of the guards, covered in blood and approaching step by step, made him startled when he said this, and then burst out laughing.

At first, an officer with only one eye nearly burst into tears:
"County magistrate? Wang Fa? Hahaha, the military master laughed so hard, there are such naive people in this world?
Boy, haven't you heard that bandits are like a comb, soldiers are like a grate, and officials are like a shave?

If you walk swaggeringly in this wilderness, if we don't grab it, is it still a soldier? "

Then he turned his head to look at the pretty girl who was guarded by the young man, and said with a lewd smile:

"Little beauty, you'd better come here and lie down on your own. As long as you take good care of the old men, how about the military master letting go of this useless wretch with a broken head?"

At this moment, the one-eyed officer was suddenly tugged at his sleeve by the people around him.

Looking back, a soldier with a fleshy face beside him didn't look at the flowery young lady, but stared at the handsome fair-skinned young man and licked his fat lips:

"Can't let it go!
Big brother, you know me, little brother, I don't need to share with that little lady, just leave this kid to me. "

Hearing this, a group of soldiers laughed again:
"Niu Er, this kid is known as the deadliest cow, which yellow-flowered girl we captured these years can still live after being harmed by him?
I bet this boy with thin skin and tender flesh can't stand it either. "

"Not to mention, this kid has a pretty face, I think it's okay to try.

He also claimed to be a county lord, and I don’t know if it’s true, but if you let him wear an official robe, he’ll give it to his brothers, tsk tsk.”

"Don't, brothers, don't grab me."

"Don't make any noise, it will be your turn later.

I am waiting but I really want to thank their father, who gave birth to such a pair of symbolic children, so we have the opportunity to enjoy it, hahaha."

Hearing such foul language, the young man was already trembling with anger:

"Presumptuous! My late father was the thirteen supervisory censors of the Dayan Inspectorate, who had the power to supervise all officials, inspect prefectures and counties, correct punishments and prisons, and clean up court rituals.

Could it be that you wait for these scumbags to slander? ! "

How did the illiterate thieves know what the official position of the supervisory censor was?
In fact, although the supervisory censor is only of the seventh grade, he is a clean speaker.

There is also the power of supervising the army and the Qing army, acting as the eyes and ears of the emperor, and they are big figures that these soldiers and bandits can't afford to provoke.

However, there is no deterrent effect on these corrupt military discipline, soldiers in front and bandits in back.

Seeing these soldiers and bandits approaching step by step, the brother and sister who were unwilling to be humiliated were also staunch.

One of them pulled out the silver hairpin from his temples, and the other pulled out the dagger he carried with him, aiming at his own throat.

At this moment, the young man couldn't help showing a wry smile on his face. His own life and death were secondary, and the only thing that was a pity was his sister who was now dependent on each other, and...
Turning his head to look in the direction of Dengzhou Mansion, he said apologetically:
"His Royal Highness King Jing, you and I have known each other for many years, but I, Duan Xing'an, are not capable enough to live up to your trust. I have no way to go to Dengzhou Mansion to help you."

This young man was actually one of Zhou Jinghuan's recruits.

After being reminded by Wang Yuan, the eldest cousin immediately started to operate in advance through the forces under his command, preparing to shake up the officialdom of Dengzhou Prefecture and install his own manpower.

Duan Xing'an is the new magistrate of Yunhe County who has just received a complaint from the Ministry of Officials and is about to go to Dengzhou Prefecture to fill the official vacancy.

But I didn't expect to encounter such a disaster when I arrived halfway.

At this moment, seeing that the two of them wanted to seek death, the one-eyed officer in charge just smiled coldly:
"Thinking to commit suicide?

Okay, even if you die, your body will still be hot for a while, and after the brothers have played, I will hang you naked on the official road where people come and go.

Aren't you sons of officials?Let your acquaintances come and see how miserable you are.

I think you fools who are so stupid in reading and reading are so shameless?Hahaha."

The bodies of the two brothers and sisters trembled suddenly, as if they had never expected that these soldiers and bandits could be so vicious.

Deep despair suddenly enveloped the hearts of the two of them.

Suddenly, a voice rang in their ears:

"Hehe, this little brother is not stupid, this kind of scholar who has opened his mind and lightened his heart is probably smarter than [-]% of the people in the world.

He's just not deeply involved in the world, and he doesn't know how evil the world can be. He still believes that there is justice and righteousness in the world as mentioned in the sages' books. "

Everyone suddenly turned around, and saw a slovenly figure sitting quietly on the steps of the ruined temple for an unknown how long.

It was a man with a thick back and a full waist, a beard, and a bear in human form. He was wearing a black coarse cloth shirt and carried a long wooden box on his shoulder.

It looks majestic, but it exudes a kind of abjection like a bereaved dog.

Seeing this person, Duan Xing'an was not prepared to drag innocent people into the water even though he had reached such a dangerous place, but shouted loudly:

"Brother, hurry up, these people are simply demons who kill people without blinking an eye, they have lost their humanity."

"Smelly beggar! Grandpa, I advise you not to meddle in your own business!"

The one-eyed officer didn't expect that there were other people present, his face changed suddenly, and he winked to the left and right while shouting.

The soldiers around him understood, silently pulled out the firecrackers from their waists, and surrounded the down-and-out man in a wild goose formation.

After all, how could it be possible to stay alive by doing such a business of killing officials?

When there were about ten steps left, they pulled the trigger together in tacit understanding without ordering.

boom! boom! boom!
Gunpowder smoke is everywhere, and the line of fire is bursting.

But it was the big man who greeted them with a low shout:
"Taiyi divides light, cuts—!"

Clang!
Accompanied by a clear sword cry, all the soldiers and bandits saw nothing but whiteness.

Before they could see what it was, their skin felt cold and tingling, and then their eyes went dark, and they completely lost consciousness.

When it fell to the ground, it had already turned into a lump of meat.

But how can a group of ordinary people be the all-in-one enemy of [Yin Shen Yu Jian]?
thump!
"Thank you Sword Immortal for saving your life!"

Nie Renxiong, who returned his sword back to its sheath, raised his hand to stop the brother and sister who were about to kneel down to thank them.

Glancing at the still living girl of the other party, and thinking of her little sister who has returned to the soul, she couldn't help but sighed deeply:

"Are you going to Dengzhou government too? Pack up your things and come with me later."

After finishing speaking, I ignored the thousands of thanks again and went to clean up the soft two people again.

Silently took out an imperial decree from his bosom, looked at the bright yellow luxurious silk face, his face was a little gloomy:
"Before I left, the Qintian Supervisor was helping me to tell my little sister's fortune, but no matter what kind of magic method I used, Nie Hongying was no longer found in the world.

My Nie family has been ranked as a "General" since the founding of Dayan, and it has been a general for generations. Once Dayan came out, there were 43 military officers above rank five.

To this day, no one has died.

So far, the Nie family has come to the generation of our brothers and sisters, but there is only one left who will lose their children and grandchildren? "

This former Yulong Zhiwuyi general, Guixiong who appeared as a dead ghost, has no wife and children all his life, and almost dedicated his life to the court.

Two months ago, the only younger sister died fighting for the country, and all the subordinates except Qiu Shaobai also died completely.

In terms of loyalty to the liver, righteousness and courage, I am afraid that there is no one who can surpass it.

The paradox is that Nie Renxiong has been working in Yulong Zhizhong for many years, which has made him see through the darkness and corruption of the dynasty.

I know very well in my heart that the people killed by corrupt officials are probably no less than [weird].

But what Nie Renxiong and Nie Hongying have learned since childhood is to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic.

Corrupt officials are bad, but the emperor must be good!

If the emperor did something bad, he must have been instigated by villains!

The repeated torment of ideals and reality made this former Wuyi general really miserable.

"My family is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but who ever loved us?"

Nie Renxiong rubbed the imperial decree in his hand with his fingertips, his expression clouded.

Nie Dingbang, the father who died in the battle, was named Xianyou Bo;

To return to his original post as an official, Fu Baolang, the fifth rank, is in command of Yulongzhi in Dengzhou Prefecture;
Added the title of Town God of Shanyang City, Dengzhou Prefecture, and commanded a place [Yin Guan].

The emperor's kindness is not unreasonable.

"If I practice [Ghost Dao] intensively, maybe one day I can become a [Ghost King] comparable to a real person, and I can avenge my little sister.

But if once you get the power of incense and wish, where is the future?
Of course, your orders cannot be violated."

Although Nie Renxiong has entered the "Taiyi Xuanbing Dao", he is even considered by the teacher to be the first-rate genius in the first sixty years.

But even though he reached the [Yin God] realm, he never thought of leaving Yulong and concentrated on cultivating Taoism, seeking immortality.

Just because everyone in the Nie family died for loyalty to the emperor, the price of this sinking is too heavy.

Jianming Emperor Zhou Wenrui also took a fancy to this point, so he asked Nie Hongying to escort the hexagram of the national destiny, and continued to entrust the dead Nie Renxiong with important tasks.

The suspicious Emperor Yan has always believed that there is no absolute loyalty in this world.

Betrayal, just because the price tag is not enough!
But if "loyalty" and "betrayal" are two ends of a balance.

But he didn't know what to put on the "betrayal" end for Nie Renxiong to make up for the price.

Nie Renxiong himself didn't know either.

Even if the emperor asked him to draw his sword against the teacher, he didn't know what he would do in the end.

If he had changed his identity, this person should have been a supreme sword fairy who was free and unrestrained.

At this moment, it seemed that there were heavy shackles on his back, and even his back, which was originally as broad as an iron tower, seemed a little stooped and pitiful.

Unfolding the imperial decree, I saw that it read:

Imperial Decree: Nie Renxiong supervises the [Yang Guan] from all walks of life as the City God.

Core Responsibilities: Don't ask too much, don't think too much, all people or monsters who dare to destroy the "Cloud and Bridge" will be killed, including princes and grandchildren!
This is the direct response of "Purchaser Dragon" Zhou Wenrui to "Cloud and Bridge Falling Dragon" - no matter what, Qingyan must be locked up to keep his throne!
